Any reference to a mediation during any subsequent trial is an irregularity
in the proceedings of the trial for the purposes of Section 657 of the
Code of Civil Procedure. Any reference to a mediation during any other
subsequent noncriminal proceeding is grounds for vacating or modifying
the decision in that proceeding, in whole or in part, and granting a new
or further hearing on all or part of the issues, if the reference materially
affected the substantial rights of the party requesting relief.
